Make sure you use the second repair on the installation disk the first one is
for writting programs.. When it offers to install xp or use repair go ahead
and hit install xp it will take you to a second screen for repair or
install!! Use this repair option! You will problably loose alot but nothing
else to do!! Do not try to re-install xpsp2 for a few weeks to let them get
the bugs out!!

Later,

Will
